“I chose Cardiff because the Welsh School of Pharmacy has an excellent reputation and is considered one of the best in the UK. Cardiff city is full of culture and has a great social scene – it has such an incredible atmosphere, especially when Wales are playing rugby and winning in the stadium! The best aspects of my university experience have been meeting new people and simply having the most fantastic time of my life. I honestly could not imagine myself anywhere but here, I love it!!!!"

Paul Cornish (Pharmacy)

I was attracted to the course, as Pharmacy is a professional, vocational degree with loads of contact with the public. Our department is really fantastic with enthusiastic lecturers and lots of socialising outside the course. The student-staff relations are strong – the students just won the staff versus students rugby game! After I graduate I hope to get a job in a hospital, working with people.

Sook Meng Chung (Pharmacy)

"I've always wanted to work in healthcare. The pharmacy course is well-rounded, we learn things step-by-step and all the areas of pharmacy are covered. I've really enjoyed it especially the practical bits like formulating and dispensing drugs. The teaching is good and most of my lecturers are kind, friendly and helpful! There is also a staff-student panel where we can voice any concerns. When I graduate I'm most likely to go into hospital pharmacy."
